Marketing NEM after fundraising
Ok Nem has done a good job attracting stakeholders with its initial equal distribution plan but what happens after the close of the fundraising? Why would people choose to invest in NEM( apart from being a great coin ) instead of the other 100 or more crypto currencies when the carrot of a million Nem per stake no longer exists.
We need to think of ways to differentiate Nem from the competition. The following are few ideas that occurred in my mind.
nice to have people on board that are already thinking ahead
- The wallet should contain a small amount of NEM( 100Nem?) to entice people to download the wallet to properly see just how much better it is compared to other cryptos.
I think that's what giveaways and the begging area in forums are for. If you wan't to get NEMs from someone you need to register in our forum and therefore are already closer to actually become part of the community. Also who's stoping me from downloading the wallet on my 50 VMs that I randomly send over TOR nodes ?
- Stake holders should band together and sponsor good causes for goodwill. Raising money to help buy medical supply for our unfortunate friends in Syria, Sudan is a great way to do good while helping NEM cause too.
So true. Actually that's the real job of a stakeholder. If you want your stake gain value then that's what you have to do. Hard to say though how many of thousands of people will actually get this right (or even want to).
- Start a Nem community market with goods sole priced in NEM.
I think every forum has a market area where everyone can sell anything. My experience is however that that doesn't really take off.
Maybe with a dedicated website but then we're already building ebay and that may be a lot of work for such a young community. if we do it we should put the necessary time into it and get it right the first time.
- start a fundraising campaign to get a 10-20 sec commercial on bbc,cnn( if allowed)
I think TV commercials wont really do much but what do I know
. I'm under the impression that the Reddit adds went really well so we might consider sponsor something like this again.
any other ideas you guys can think of?
I think we should hold everything until we have our 2 websites and an exchange up. If we make a big fuzz about NEM with almost 0 infrastructure people will turn away and never comeback.
I know utopian has this parallel development plan but I think the community is coming together quite nicely and maybe we should slow down on that end a bit and wait until the technical part catches up.
Also look at this fellas:
http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/2014/02/13/the-mathematically-secure-way-to-accept-zero-confirmation-transactions/ Maybe we could somehow built this into NEM in a way that makes it easier to calculate the "confidence" ? Jaguar what do you think ?
We could promote a 0 confirmation transaction time
